The drug discovery and development segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 437.88 million in 2017. Carbohydrates play a major role in many biological processes such as acting as the most abundant molecule in the body, an energy source for glucose metabolism, or a structural cell wall component. Complex glycans are needed to fold newly synthesized polypeptides properly and are essential in the final stability, solubility, and transport of the glycoprotein. Additionally, carbohydrates are present on the surface of all cell types, targeting vital biological functions that rely on the specific recognition of glycan structure by other biomolecules. Several advances in mass spectrometry (MS) equipment will allow the mapping of glycan attachment sites, profiling of glycan structural variations, and determining detailed carbohydrate microstructures. Hence, such factors are expected to fuel the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Enzymes play a major role in glycobiology. For instance, transferase is a vital component in the complex generation of carbohydrates. In addition, these carbohydrates which are generated are metabolized by glycosidases and altered by a range of other enzymes including sulfatases. Additionally, these enzymes can be utilized as a tool to elucidate the structure and function of carbohydrates. Thus the rising incidences of drug discovery and development are expected to fuel the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Glycobiology is essentially a branch of science that is the study of the structure, biology, and function of glycans which are present in all living organisms. This study enables drug discovery as well as diagnosis of disease along with therapeutic applications. Additionally, this study needs instruments including microscopes, flow cytometric cell sorting/purification, ELISA, and fluorescent immunohistochemistry. The rising adoption of glycobiology in disease diagnosis is a significant factor fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period.

There are multiple factors influencing market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges.
One of the key factors driving the market growth is the increase in expenditure by different pharmaceutical companies on R&D. There is increasing investment by several pharmaceutical companies in R&D which include glycomics & glycobiology as well as proteomics research. The average spending of pharmaceutical companies is about 15%-20% of their revenue for R&D purposes. As a result of this R&D spending, it brings several products into the market.
Moreover, it has led to an increase in the demand for pharmaceutical contract packaging. With the adoption of contract packaging, pharmaceutical manufacturers can minimize their capital expenditure and operating cost related to the purchasing of packaging machinery, space for setting up packaging units, and labor costs for the same. Thus, it is positively impacting the market growth. Hence, such factors are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the market growth is the growing demand for glycomics products for drug discovery and development. Glycans play a vital role in several biological processes. These are important for protein folding and stability and serve as cognitive elements of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. Complex glycans play an essential role in the expression of the phenotype of the genotype of the cell and they are mainly present on the surface of cells, deposited in the extracellular matrix, and bound to soluble signaling molecules.
There is an increasing focus on glycans as it has become the center of medically relevant biological processes and is perceived as hotspots for biomedical interventions. Several technological advancements in biophysical technology offer biophysical technology to improve the molecular and structural understanding of these processes and have resulted in the development of effective therapies. Hence, such factors are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
The low availability of skilled professionals is one of the key challenges hindering market growth. The drug development process is very risky as well as costly and time-consuming at the same time. Thus it is essential to have well-trained skilled professionals involved in such kinds of experiments and research. Laboratory professionals are essentially skilled and certified professionals who are well-trained in the theoretical and practical aspects of glycobiology.
However, the role of glycobiology professionals spans several areas including staff technologists, research technologists, supervisors, managers, and educators. Several of these professionals lack knowledge about technology and its benefits. As a result, it increases the chances of error or failure in the process. Hence, such factors are expected to hinder market growth during the forecast period.
